My pray­er to God shall still be raised
Amidst this state of doubt and sin,
It is to make their grac­es shine.
Fearless he breathes, and safe­ly there.
Dear Je­sus, Lord, I wait.
The road’s been long and drea­ry,
From all the dark plac­es of earth’s hea­then races,
The day wears on to night;
O’er hea­then lands afar
And it lies just be­yond the dark sha­dows
Here a bright squad­ron leaves the skies,
And bid the gloom de­part?
And lives and reigns with bound­less sway.
And lives and reigns with bound­less sway.
Christian, fal­ter not, nei­ther be afraid;
Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong,
Should we stum­ble on the way?
And life has days of dark­ness,
To a sin­ful, dy­ing world;
O’erwhelmed in shades of night;

Thick

The Lord, most wor­thy to be praised,
With weak­ness, pain, dis­ease with­in:
And wrath­ful ar­rows fly abroad;
And thou­sands sick­en, thou­sands die;
Upon my sun­lit skies are cast;
In bo­dy weak and wea­ry,
The voice of sal­va­tion awakes ev­ery nation,
In Thee alone is light.
Arise, O Morn­ing Star,
When we en­ter the val­ley of sha­dows,
Anon a heav’n­ly sol­dier flies,
Over this world of woe;
When hope de­parts and gloom des­cends,
When hope de­parts and gloom des­cends,
Storms may beat on thee, but be not dis­mayed,
Cold is the night, and O, we long
We can seek a heav’n­ly ray;
When waves dash fierc­ely round thee,
From the en­emy be hurled,
To one faint gleam of light.
